  Speaker 1: The Traders. It's finally here with the host. We can't
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: wait to get back on our screens. Gretel Coaleen, Good.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Morning, Wanning, Gretel morning.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you know you're always going to be
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the face of Big Brother for all of us. Did
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: hosting the Traders feel like a home coming to television?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Well, I've been on television on and off, yeah, over.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: These last decades, and also since I was in my twenties.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: It's so different now. I mean, I think Mel does
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: a great job on Big Brother. In the current iteration,
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: she does a great job. I'm very familiar with the
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: television world. But the things that were really sweet was
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: being in that environment where you're all in it together.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: When we first Big Brother, the crew of one hundred and.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Something would all move up to the Gold Coast and
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: everybody was sharing apartments and working together. So we had
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: our own bubble, which was fantastic and really a great
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: chapter in our lives.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Many reminisce about those naughty days.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and in this one we were not so naughty.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: But we shot in Kimaru in New Zealand, and all
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: the crew had to live there.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: We were all living there together.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: We did twelve apps in twelve days, which is really
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: intense filming.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: So that was similar the cameras and audio and all.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Those things I'm used to, but that community feel was fantastic.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Gretel.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: For anybody who has never seen the Shan of course
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: is an American version, in English version and the Australian version,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: just briefly explain to anybody new to the concept, what
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: is the Traders about.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: It's a really simple format, and many people would think.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: It's like a murderable board game or or a dinner
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: party game. It is simple, but it's beautifully executed in
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: this format. So a group of people and I've developed
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: a character. We're the only country in the world as
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: far as I know where that's been allowed. I it's
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: my mansion and I've got this had passed of dead
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: husbands and wives, eleven of them, and I libs mentioned
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: my parents were really wealthy and they've mysteriously died when
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I was a child. The butler is my best friend.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: He's aged and a bit of a drinker. So these
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I invite these twenty two people to come and stay.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: On the first day, I choose a traitor or traitors.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Nobody knows who they are except for those three, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: the remaining people are faithful, And every day there are
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: challenges to raise money for the winner to win. But
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: every evening there's a round table where people submit the
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: evidence as to who they think is a traitor and
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: who should therefore be eliminated, and they all vote, and
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: then that night, so someone is eliminated at the round
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: table because they're voted out by their peers who think.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: They're a traitor. And then at night the traders.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: That remain murder someone, and then the next morning the
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: players find out who it is.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: It's such a simple idea, but we've got such strong
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: characters in the cast.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: People.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: When you're watching it, you can you play a long
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Human behavior is endlessly fascinating anyway, just how wrong we can.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Be exactly, it's confidently wrong.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you say, I love that you're a character,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: because I love the I mean, there are a few
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: iterations around the world, but I love Claudia Winkelman and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Allen Comming on the other two big ones, and in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the on the US version, Alan Comings. Wardrobe is a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: character in and of itself. Do you get to choose
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: your wardrobe?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Because I created a character.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I created a scrapbook and then had created references for
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: what I wanted to wear for the challenges and what
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I wanted to wear in the house at all times.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Sam who's a New Zealander, helped source those so for me,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Claudia just sorry, I should just clarify. The format is
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: all over the world, not just in the ones that
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: we've seen. It's in ten twenty thirty countries around the world.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Alan Cumming lifted it in my eyes because he started
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: with his tartan, because their manners in Scotland, with this
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: extravagant tartans and drapery and headgear, and I do feel
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: that that was a little bit of an inspiration for
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: me to think word a minute, there are no rules here,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: but our costumes their fantasy. Sometimes depending on the theme
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: of the mission where they're going to earn the money.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I'll be dressed according to that. Sometimes I'm in the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: opening scene.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys have had a chance
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: to see that, it's.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Sad bride, like a murderous bride.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: And so that's all what I was allowed to do,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: which I really absolutely love. You mentioned each person can
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: kind of give you permission to go the next step
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: and realize what's possible.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: How long into the filming of all this does the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: real distrust amongst everybody become very very evident to everyone.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: When does the tension begin? How long does it take
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: for people to work it out?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Isn't it interesting?
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Some people are incredibly confident that they've worked everything out
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: right and they get go. The worst thing you can
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: do is tell people you've worked it out, because then
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: you're a sitting duck. So for people to start to
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: get paranoid, it's increasing because of course they're not sleeping
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: because you don't know if you're going to get murdered,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and also you're trying to put the evidence of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: day to try and anticipate who should you be aligning
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: on your side, who should you befriend, who should you
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: not trust? So it increases. It's a good question because
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: I think people are very shocked from the word go.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: This old shakes and you realize, okay, you welcome to
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: my manner.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Things are not what you thought there would be. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the naughtier you are, the longer you're going to survive here.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And this cast is packed with.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Reality TV veterans from you know maths and Survivor and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Big Brother, and there must have been a few that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: come in thinking I Am going to dominate this and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: then get a rude surprise.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: There are, yes, there are some who definitely have that attitude.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: There are some who are totally bewildered and don't realize
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: that it is.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: A game of strategy.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit like a chess game, because what
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: you've got to imagine if you really want to survive,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: is the trickle effect of every move you make. If
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: you vote this person out, how does it make you look?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: What are the ramifications of that? So you've got to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: be looking at the whole board on.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That to think a step ahead.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You just can't go crashing through.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I'm really interested, and I have no information
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: on this. If you weren't a tactical player, if you
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: were just going on your gut instinct, I wonder how
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: far you would go. Because some people they're absolutely spot
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: on with their gut instinct, but they don't play it
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: properly and so they're out, or they betray their own
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: instincts and go with the herd. Humans are fascinating. You
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: don't want to be alione this game. You're ostensibly alone.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one more question I have to ask, how do
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you keep a straight face where the faithfuls are adamantly
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: accusing the wrong person?
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Well, you're assuming I do.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: There are things that go on in our show that
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: are so delightful. I don't necessarily keep a straight face.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: There's so much humor in our interpretation. It's not like
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: a solemn version of the game. Totally playful. It's funny.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: A lot of the edit is joyful. It's celebrating the
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: ridiculousness of humans, and I think this is the perfect
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: time to see how we actually think. The power of confidence,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: the power of who you trust and who you can't trust,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: and the power of instincts.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: It's just fascinating.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: And the show increases in complexity as it goes on.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's worth watching.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It's just joyful and playful. Apart from the murder oh
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: yeah that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: It all starts tonight at seven thirty. It is a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: great It is a fun show. It moves along at
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: a rollicking pace. We look forward to seeing you in charge.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Gretel. Thank you so much. Great to talk with you both.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Gretel,
